Everything around us. If you deny that there is a god or that his will is manifest in creation, then you still have the realities which you do accept as real to guide your life.IDK bud, I still think it's just you telling us what gods will is.
Quote:2) At this point, yes it is irrelevant. You don't need to know that God exists or even that there is such a thing as God's will to live a decent and rationally good life. <= Please read that again because I know theists usually come here saying the exact opposite. Even if you deny the "= God's will", there is still all of those realities (e.g. what-you-are etc.) showing you how to lead a decent and good life.It's irrelevant at any point.
I know you don't believe that we need to believe or for there to even be a god for there to be morality. I just wanted to imagine our resident thumpers face upon reading a fellow christian say as much.
